The assignment consists of two elements. You may choose one of the below options for storyboard design and prototype design but are not limited to these:

1. Airline ticket reservation system

2. Library books issuing database system

3. A booking system for a beauticians

4. Indian food delivery service

5. Bus ticket issuing machine in a bus station

It will be necessary for you to investigate the topic and make your own assumptions about certain aspects of the interactive system you will design. You should explore and research this sector to ensure you are able to produce the following deliverables.

1. A ‘poster presentation’ to be uploaded on Turnitin ensuring the following points.

1. •  Once you have made your choice create storyboard designs for your prototype. These storyboards should be presented in a series of illustrations on the poster. The designs must be clear, annotated with your design decisions and include explanations provided to support decisions made. A user should clearly be able to learn how to use the system from the designs shown. It should be intuitive to the user how the screen designs flow in sequence and what actions should be taken next.

1. •  After storyboard designs, draw the prototype on the poster. The prototype should clearly identify your chosen system interface which conforms to HCI guidelines.  Ensure that you have designed your interfaces with these in mind. Create a visually-pleasing, user-focused, functional system which includes authentication of validation and verification.

2. An individual, written assignment of approximately 2,000 words, excluding tables, diagrams, headings, appendices, bibliography, etc.

1. •  You are required to identify IT technological innovation (e.g; XploR cane, Driverless cars, XB-1 Supersonic…etc) and explore how that innovation is positioning itself to attempt to gain/maintain competitive advantage and lead the IT sector. You should explore any aspect that may be relevant to that technology such as pricing, features, functions, speed, core processors, brand values, etc. This list is not prescriptive and you are free to explore what makes this technology different and explain how it has responded to the market. Ensure you mention how its position has changed in recent years and conclude your work by giving your own opinion on what it needs to do to succeed in this sector in the next 2-5 years.

Note that students will be required to show evidence of research from a range of sources including credible media sources. Use of academic and industry journals is not essential. You should avoid just relying on corporate websites although you are encouraged to contact your chosen companies in order to get some direct information from the organisations blogs.
